Extraordinary

“I can only describe my experience with Charlotte as “nothing but good”. She is absolutely excellent at what she does. She brings value to the table, helping others improve themselves. When I hired Charlotte I wanted someone who was easy to work with, someone who knew the tax rules and regulations and to “keep my fanny” from the IRS. She has been extraordinary in satisfying each of my needs. It gives me great pride referring her to my business associates.”

Responsive Attention to My Needs

“I originally hired Charlotte because of her great reputation within the community. I have remained a client for over 10 years because of her excellent service, ethical standards and responsive attention to my needs. I find it easy to communicate with Charlotte and her team they are indeed “user-friendly.” Any small business owner looking for a new financial services partner will benefit from working with Maris & Associates.”

Fabulous

“I inherited Charlotte as my CPA when the accountant I had been working with for years retired. My experience with her over these years has been fabulous. Charlotte is sharp and well educated when it comes to keeping up to date with the ever-changing tax laws. She is tenacious, loyal, a great problem solver and able to do the proper research providing a prompt and accurate response to my needs. I appreciate her conservative, yet thorough approach to handling all of my tax issues. My hope is that she doesn’t retire before I plan to.”

Extremely Personable

“I used to dread going to see my accountant until I began working with Charlotte. Now it’s like going to visit a friend. I find Charlotte to be extremely personable; she genuinely expresses a heartfelt interest in my business. This extends to her staff as well, I don’t get the sense that it’s a burden for anyone to take my call and address my needs.”
